Startups in Sheffield

Sheffield has strengths in advanced manufacturing, steel-tech and digital. The South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority can help with local grants and advice, and our funding page explains how we help you get ready for a loan, a grant or investment.

What should Sheffield engineering firms know about capital allowances and R&D relief?

Advanced manufacturing and engineering businesses across South Yorkshire buy expensive equipment, and the way it is claimed changes the tax bill. Machinery normally qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, and companies can claim full expensing on qualifying new plant. Relief falls in the accounting period of the purchase, so buying just after the year end delays it by twelve months. Engineering work that seeks an advance in science or technology and resolves genuine technical uncertainty can also qualify for R&D relief, including work on materials and manufacturing processes.

Questions from startups in Sheffield

Do you offer accountancy for startups in Sheffield?

Yes. We act for startups across Sheffield and South Yorkshire, working online by video call, WhatsApp and email.

When does a Sheffield engineering company get tax relief on new machinery?

Relief is given for the accounting period in which the company buys the machinery. Most plant and machinery qualifies for the Annual Investment Allowance, and companies can claim full expensing on qualifying new plant and machinery, so buying just after the year end delays the relief by a year. Cars do not qualify for either.

Do I need a Sheffield-based accountant?

No. Bookkeeping, tax returns, filing and advice can all be handled online, so your accountant does not need to be in the same city.

How much do you charge?

Accounting and tax is a fixed monthly fee from £49 a month + VAT, set by your turnover and agreed in writing before we start. Payroll is charged separately.
